Avoid washing hair with hot water

To make your blonde hair dye last longer, you should avoid washing your hair with hot water. Hot water strips your hair color and damages the hair shaft. It also dries out the scalp, causing split ends and brittle strands to break off. Hot water can even cause tons of damage to the follicles that result in hair loss or greyness (grey is just a fancy word for white). Avoiding hot showers will help keep you looking young!

Experiment with different shampoos

How you shampoo your hair may be just as important as the dye itself in terms of keeping it looking fabulous. If you use a shampoo for dark hair, or oily hair, or dry hair (or damaged), or colored—it can’t help but strip away some of the color from your blonde locks. That’s why it’s so crucial to find one that works best for blondes only! Here are some tips:

  • Use a shampoo specifically designed for blondes—not brunettes, redheads, blackheads or anyone else who doesn’t have short blonde hair. If there isn’t a specific product on the market just yet (and there probably is), go with something gentle like Pantene Pro V Gold Series Color Protection Shampoo which comes highly rated by both consumers and industry experts alike.
  • Avoid shine enhancers like glycerin since they may further enhance oil production at the roots; instead opt for something less “oily” such as Dove Visibly Smooth Anti-Frizz Serum Rinse which helps control frizz without leaving behind any residue at all–even if you’re using dryer sheets afterwards!

Rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle.

The water temperature is an important factor when it comes to how well your blonde hair dye will last. A cool rinse closes the hair cuticle, which helps keep the color locked in longer. You don’t need ice cold water—you can just use room temperature water or even warm water if you want.

What is a cuticle?

The cuticle is like a protective layer around each strand of hair that protects it from dirt and other pollutants. It also keeps moisture away from the cortex (the inside part of the shaft) so that it doesn’t dry out or break off easily from styling products like heat tools, which can damage them if they’re constantly exposed over time due to constant exposure through styling tools like curling irons/flat irons/straighteners etc..

Use a hair-protecting spray before styling.

The second step to making your blonde hair dye last longer is to use a hair-protecting spray before styling. This will help protect the color from fading and help it last for longer than usual.

There are many types of protecting sprays that you can find at the drugstore or beauty supply store, but I recommend getting one with UV protection because this will also protect against sun damage. The sun’s rays can cause some serious fading on your hair if you’re not careful!

If you want to go all out, I’d also recommend getting a heat protector spray so that your hair doesn’t get damaged by using hot tools like curling irons or straighteners over time.

Apply coconut oil as a treatment before you shampoo.

Coconut oil is a natural way to condition your hair, which can help keep the color from fading quickly. It also works as an anti-frizz agent and protects against environmental stressors like sun damage and heat styling tools.

To use coconut oil as a pre-shampoo treatment, apply it to dry hair 30 minutes before shampooing (don’t put the coconut oil on right before you shower). Use a wide-toothed comb to distribute the oils evenly throughout your strands so they don’t clump together in spots where they’re not needed. Then take advantage of all that extra time by getting another 30 minutes of shut eye before finally rinsing out your conditioner or sudsing up with your favorite shampoo and conditioner combo!

Consider an at-home gloss to extend your color.

If you’re looking to extend the life of your color, consider an at-home gloss. Glosses are like conditioners for hair color, and they’re designed to make it last longer. The formula is applied after you shampoo (or even before if you want) and then rinsed out. You can find a variety of products that offer glossing abilities in drug stores and big box stores.

Glosses come in many different formulas, which makes it important to read labels carefully when choosing one. Some are designed just for blondes while others work on all types of hair colors—but there may be some subtle differences that could affect how well they work for you or how long the results last. It’s also important not to overdo it with these products: too much could leave your locks feeling greasy or weighed down by build-up over time!

It’s also smart to test different glosses out before committing fully; try using them as often as once every two weeks until you see which ones give the results desired without causing any negative side effects like white residue left behind on pillows or towels after washing off each application session…

If you make your hair dye last longer you will have better results and they will last longer

  • Don’t wash your hair with hot water. Hot water washes away the natural oils in hair, which help protect it from damage. If you want to keep that color longer, wash your hair with cold water and use a good shampoo (we recommend using Redken Color Extend Shampoo + Conditioner).
  • Rinse with cold water. Cold rinsing helps preserve the depth of color in your blonde hair by closing open cuticles on the surface of each strand of hair. Just make sure not to let it get too cold or else you’ll end up with frozen locks!
  • Use a moisturizing treatment like coconut oil before washing your blonde locks as this will help lock in moisture so they don’t dry out as fast when being exposed to sunlight or heat sources such as blow dryers/flat irons – thus protecting them from damage over time!
